Ella has loved dance classes this year -- her teacher has been amazing and she's made good friends with some of her fellow dancers (and me with their moms!). Ella was so excited about her recital, especially about getting to wear makeup and a darling costume. Her dance was to Shirley Temple's "Good Ship Lollipop". So cute! It was so special to have my mom in town for her first recital - thanks grandma for making the trip up here for it! Ella did such a good job and her little class was so cute on stage. IDT puts on an amazing production, the first half was Swan Lake (with the high school students) and the second half was individual classes being showcased. So proud of this girl!
Flowers for her teacher, the very loved Miss Shannon...
Ella was so excited to get her own bouquet of flowers after the show...
Lucy sat still on my lap for the first 10 minutes of Swan Lake. She spent the rest of the show with her sweet daddy walking around the lobby. She will not sit still!
Ella's request for after the show was Red Robin for dinner and ice cream cones ...
Lucy was a fan...
Here is (the shaky version of) her dance if you want to watch the whole thing :). Cody was holding Lucy and she wasn't making it easy for him to videotape...
